I have AVG Anti-virus free edition installed but I do not know if Avast is
better. I do not want to pay for anti-virus as I feel that I can get real
time protection for free. I will be willing to pay for anti-spyware
programs as it seems that free anti-spyware solution do not provide real
time protection - either AVG anti-spyware or Lavasoft Ad-aware Plus. Share
you opinions here for options between AVG and Avast. I have almost made up
my mind between AVG anti-spyware and Ad-aware Plus.
If you want free realtime Anti-spyware protection I believe SpyBot S&D
provides that. However this feature can be a memory and resource hog in
other anti-spyware products anyway. I have AVG Anti-spyware installed but
just use it to scan weekly since the real-time feature is disabled after the
free trial period expires. Have you tried SpywareBlaster which does not use
memory or cpu and simply blocks spyware installation passively?
